Ann Romney Rocks a $900.00 + t shirt on CBS

<Today Mitt and Ann Romney appeared on CBS‘s This Morning to talk about Barack Obama,
Osama bin Laden, and a slew of other political things. Sharp eyes over at The Cut noticed
that Ann was wearing a bird-printed t-shirt by Reed Krakoff.

Naturally, we had to get the scoop on the price. According to a saleswoman at Krakoff’s
Madison Avenue store, the silk tee costs $990.>

*********************************
Maybe I don't understand fashion but I think the shirt looks all right but $900? Please!

2. Plus 100000

Not sure which is worse - that it cost over $1000 with tax, assuming even a very low sales tax. or the fact that I doubt it would actually make anyone look good.

I remember in 2008, that many of the off the rack dresses Michelle Obama wore then sold like hotcakes. They were reasonably priced and very nice - and Michelle Obama always looked great. (Ann Romney is older, but this will NOT start a fashion trend - I hope.)

8. I like the saying, "More money than sense"

They really do have a tin ear. Why would you possibly wear a 900 dollar t-shirt on television, where people can get a good look at it. Now, if it was a suit that was $900, people might understand that, but that kind of money for a t-shirt?? These fools are going to continue to sink themselves.

11. $900 for a suit? Try $9,000.

Long long ago I worked for a guy who wore two and three thousand dollar suits. (Everything was cheaper then.) A tailor would come to town, book a hotel suite, and take measurements for days. Then he would fly back to England and make suits. He showed up several times a year.

24. A store review:

"Despite my tendency to disregard artistic prestige obtained via the vulgar mechanisms of brute wealth, I did like stuff. Much of the heavy metal jewelry would be ideal for hand-to-hand combat: shiny gunmetal chain-links of a girth normally seen around the waists of bicycle messengers; bracelets resembling the hardware required to break a psychotic horse.

Perhaps the most puzzling accessory was the “Beaver suspenders” ($3,200), a strappy black lederhosen-like contraption with wide beaver-pelt mudflaps on each hip. I couldn’t make sense of it, but it would certainly keep your kidneys warm if you were out poaching mastodons. The video of Mr. Krakoff’s runway show, projected on a wall, was little help. When the model Karlie Kloss, who is nine feet tall and has thighs the circumference of a tangelo, wears this totalitarian beaver-enforcement garment, she looks like the box her dishwasher came in. There is little doubt that if I wore it, people would call me Mr. Baggins and beg me to destroy the Ring. "

"Rich people are not like us. The most compelling luxury at Reed Krakoff is the rare spectacle of enough capital to squander on a learning curve that most people would prefer to master privately, before inflicting their genius on an unsuspecting public. "

26. When you buy that shirt I bet you get a free bowl of soup!

30. This is Ann's miserable attempt to look like she's 'one of us' wearing a 'funky t-shirt'

She would have looked 1000x better plus related better if she had gone to the Gap and bought a $20 t-shirt from there and wore that.

Romney's people would be smart to keep her out of the public - she's coming across like a real Marie Antoinette with her major disconnect between the elite and working classes.

Sure Michelle Obama will wear the fancy designer duds but she also knows how to rock a beautiful $125 dress from Talbots, J.Crew or Black & White. What's funny is she'll wear the outfit and a few days later that outfit will sell out by the store. I should know, I really wanted to buy a floral dress she wore a few years back from Talbots. It was perfect for Easter and only $100.
